The Year Ahead
Change is constant
Change is the one constant that unifies global CEOs — and the pace of change only seems to be quickening. Which is why Bloomberg convenes The Year Ahead Summit, an invitation-only event creating a 360-degree view of the most urgent topics facing every executive in the coming year. The issues are myriad, from ongoing geopolitical uncertainty to the next generation of cyber security challenges to the radically changing nature of work in the age of A.I. to the most promising new global investment opportunities. Join Bloomberg this fall to help shape the conversation around the most important trends, issues and challenges every executive will need to consider in 2020 and beyond.

Special Lunch Session: The Year Ahead at Work
Seating is limited. Pre-registration is required.
It’s a cliché at this point to talk about how technology is driving the future of work but the truth of the matter is most companies are still not keeping up with the pace of change—from the standpoints of operations, information security, regulations, and talent. Making the right investments to keep the right teams doing the right jobs at the right time can often be a guessing game. But harvesting and utilizing the right data and tools can help executives understand crucial linkages that can inform decision making and eliminate guesswork. In this panel, we’ll talk to senior executives about how they balance priorities, stay nimble, and build teams that succeed.
